I Am Teh Wallrsu I Am Teh Wallrsu
Last year, Rock Band developer Harmonix had announced a deal with Apple Corps (the Beatles business company) involving the Beatles’ music.  When asked whether it would be a Rock Band title, Harmonix avoided the question saying it would be it’s own “experience.” A few weeks ago...

JC in Real Life JC in Real Life
Earlier this week, the glorious Eugene Ahn, of People You Don’t Know, interviewed me for his podcast.  The topics range from Nilla Wafers to Reaganomics, the video game.  In between, we also discuss our love of video games, why every 15 year old on Xbox Live seems like a member of the Klan Youth...

Combing the New York Comic Con Combing the New York Comic Con
Recently, I attended the New York Comic Con, which is the largest convention of it’s kind on the East Coast. Hung over from a series of pre-event parties, I slogged from Penn Station to the Javits Center.  In past years, the line to enter stretched down 10 Ave for blocks and blocks.  This year,...

Who Watches Twenty Minutes Of Watchmen Who Watches Twenty Minutes Of Watchmen
This past weekend, I attended the New York Comic Con and had the good fortune (and swift feet) to catch the first 18 minutes of the upcoming Watchmen, an exclusive (to the Comic Con) 2 minute scene and a public Q & A with Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons. The movie opens with the fight between the Comedian...

Marcus Fenix He Is Not Marcus Fenix He Is Not
Given our recent pimping of the Pugh Brothers innovations and Gears of War 2, I wanted to share this video floating around the interwebs. Below is a video of an assault rifle fitted with a chainsaw bayonet. While quite inventive (and makes you wonder if James Madison breaks the sound barrier in his...

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Doesn’t Even Work in Video Games Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Doesn’t Even Work in Video Games
It’s that time of the year. Every person or entity with access to a computer, (except Grimbil) is coming up with a year end list. One company, The Timothy Plan, which appears to be some sort of Christian Investment Company (I heard they paid Clarence Beaks for the wafer crop report), came up...

Review: Four Christmases [movies] Review: Four Christmases [movies]
I normally don’t review movies because, frankly, I’m a troglodyte who barely can comprehend the themes in video games. However, when a movie comes along that a) evokes such an emotional reaction and b) has no chance of being reviewed here, I step up to the plate. Just as a word of warning,...

Castlevania Order of Ecclesia [video games] Castlevania Order of Ecclesia [video games]
Castlevania: Ecclesia is the latest in the Castlevania DS series. The game tries it best to mix the settings of Simon’s Quest, the off-the-wall follow-up to the original NES game, with the mechanics and gameplay of Symphony of the Night, commonly believed to be the best Castlevania game (and arguably...
